Jacob pulled out his phone but hesitated, unsure if he should send the text. He looked visibly irritated.
Nancy had crossed some boundaries the last time she was drunk. But he too had stepped out of line- and he was sober. Even though she had completely forgotten about the incident the next day, he couldn't forget that night. Jacob knew he could no longer say he thought of her as just a friend. He didn't know how to face her, so he chose to avoid her instead.
"Mr. Murray, your suit for the banquet has arrived: Would you like to take a look?" Jack entered his office and asked respectfully. "No need," Jacob declined flatly.
Just then he caught a faint scent of perfume that made him frown instantly. The fragrance was familiar, but he couldn't quite place it. "Did anyone else come by?"
"N-No. Nobody has come by." Remembering Nancy's instruction before she left, Jack mustered his courage to lie to Jacob. Jacob's eyes narrowed, clearly disbelieving his words. Before he could ask further, his phone suddenly started vibrating.
Jacob collected himself and answered the call.
"Mom, what's up?"
As soon as he picked up, Yara's dissatisfied voice came through.
"What's going on with the banquet? Tina was supposed to be your date. Not only did you not appreciate her gesture, but you also made her cry!"
Jacob frowned. "Mom, please don't take matters into your own hands again."
Yara huffed defiantly. "You think I want to? It's because you're not making an effort! I was worried you wouldn't have a date for the banquet today. If you don't want Tina to be your date, the Zeigler's and Lowe's do 45-"
Jacob's furrow deepened with frustration as he interrupted her, "I already have a date lined up."
Hearing this, Yara's mood instantly brightened. "Really? It's rare for you to take the initiative! This is great! My son finally has a date."
Yara was clearly excited. "Honey, did you hear that? Our son is finally bringing a date! It looks like we won't have to wait long to have a daughter-in-law. And with a daughter-in-law, how far off can grandchildren be?" Listening to her increasingly outrageous comments, Jacob felt a headache coming and rubbed his temples.
After ending the call, Jacob thought for a moment before sending a text message.
"Nance, are you free tonight?"
As soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared.
Jacob furrowed his brows in confusion. He had never seen a red exclamation mark before. Chapter 463

""Mr. Murray, you've been blocked?"
Standing nearby, Jack couldn't help but laugh at the sight. Who would dare block Jacob Murray?
"Is this funny to you?" Jacob shot a sharp glare in Jack's direction, his presence radiating an intimidating chill that sent a clear warning.
Jack immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
Staring at the red exclamation mark, Jacob pressed his lips tightly with a grave expression.
That ungrateful person actually blocked him!
